Thanks Gonk. The video is not a biggie since I can always go from player to display, bypassing the 990. So Oppo's player is going to play blue ray, dvd a, and sacd? I've been looking for that type of universal player without success for a while now.
That's what we hear. When they announced the player at CEDIA, they weren't saying much about DVD-Audio except that the hardware will handle it and they were working with their chipset vendor to get the decoding included. Personally, I expect them to succeed in that. Blu-ray will include decoding of all new audio codecs, and DVD playback will benefit from the ABT technology that they used in the
DV-983H .
No, the Model 990's DVI output will not in any way degrade your picture quality.
Unfortunately, component video does not support 1080P (though all good component switchers will support 1080i, including ours).
While the component video output will support the OSD, the Model 990's DVI connection will not.
Scott makes a couple good points - first that 1080p component is a mightily rare beast (as we'd already discussed) and second that the 990's DVI switching is wholly separate from the 990's OSD system. That means you'll need to switch over to an analog video connection (any of the 990's monitor outputs will do, including component) to see the processor's setup menu.
